Today marks 17 years since Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin Whitepaper — introducing a peer-to-peer electronic cash system with no trusted parties, built on proof-of-work from adam3us (nprofile…yggq)' Hashcash.

This idea changed money forever.


See a recreation of the moment Satoshi reached out to adam3us (nprofile…yggq) about Hashcash to cite in the Bitcoin whitepaper, an email exchange that helped lay the foundation for proof-of-work and the entire Bitcoin network.



“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work.”

— Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin Whitepaper
